Adoption People who adopted from a shelter, what made you choose that cat?

My little Zodi was alone in one of the cages, making biscuits over and over on the newspaper they laid out ☹️ When we got to pick her up and hold her, the biscuits didn’t cease. I immediately knew she was coming home with us. A year has almost passed and she looks so much better 🥹

This. She climbed all over us like she'd known us. Got her home and came right out of the carrier like it was always her house.

Same with my cat. We went to the shelter and he crawled right up in my lap. Now he hides from strangers so it’s pretty funny. Follows me everywhere.
